after buying a bike.

The problem

Most riders blame their body. It's usually the bike.

Discomfort on a bike rarely comes from being unfit. It comes from a position that's slightly wrong, repeated thousands of times.

  • Knees

    Saddle a few millimetres off changes your knee angle at the bottom of every stroke — around 5,000 of them an hour.

  • Lower back

    Bars too far forward and you rotate at the hips to reach them. The strain shows up an hour into the ride.

  • Hands and neck

    Too much weight forward and your hands go numb. Most riders adjust the saddle. The problem is usually the reach.

How it works

Three steps, about five minutes.

  1. Velora's bike selection screen, with Road Bike chosen.
    01

    Tell it what you ride

    Road bikes for now. Each discipline has its own optimal ranges, so the rest arrive one at a time rather than all at once.

  2. The camera framing screen, with the bike highlighted and a green 'Looks good' confirmation.
    02

    Prop your phone and frame the bike

    About two metres away, side on. Velora checks the level and the framing before it starts, so you don't waste a run.

  3. Live analysis on a rider, counting down the remaining pedal cycles.
    03

    Pedal for twenty seconds

    It tracks your joints live over five pedal cycles. Everything happens on the phone — no recording is uploaded anywhere.

What you get

A number you can act on.

Adjust

“You're not getting full extension at the bottom of the stroke. Try raising it ~2 cm.”

Saddle height · from a real Velora result

  1. What to change, and by how much

    Not a score to interpret. A named part of the bike, a direction, and a number in centimetres.

  2. The measurement behind it

    Every recommendation shows your angle against the range it's compared to, so you can see how far off you actually are.

  3. The frame it came from

    Velora shows you the pedal stroke it measured, with the angle drawn on your own body. If it isn't confident, it says so instead of guessing.

The loop

Change one thing. Check it. Repeat.

A fit isn't one verdict. It's a short loop you can run again the moment you've moved something — which is the part a booked appointment can't give you.

  1. Adjust Move one thing on the bike.
  2. Point Prop the phone back up.
  3. Pedal Twenty seconds, riding normally.
  4. Recheck See whether it actually helped.

Velora isn't trying to replace a fitter. It's the step most riders skip entirely.

Who it's for

Riders who want clarity before they want precision.

You just got the bike

“I want it to feel right.”

  • First road bike, and something already aches.
  • You don't want to walk into a shop and feel behind.
  • You're not sure a few hundred on a fit is the right first spend.

You don't have the time

“I'm not booking an appointment for this.”

  • Training around work, with a sportive or a race in the calendar.
  • You'll change something tonight if you know what to change.
  • You want to check it again straight after, not next week.

Honest limits

Not a lab. Not a toy.

Velora is built on established fitting principles and gives you a defensible starting position. A good fitter watching you ride will always see more. Start here, go there when it's worth it.
